                    BIDEN DEFICIT THREATENS FAMILIES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last month the Committee 
for a Responsible Federal Budget reported on the final Monthly Treasury 
Statement for 2023 by the Department of the Treasury.
  The U.S. deficit totaled $2 trillion. This figure is double the 
deficit of 2022 and higher than the Congressional Budget Office 
projected in June.
  Officially, the deficit grew $320 billion from 2022. As a share of 
the economy, the deficit was 7.5 percent of the gross domestic product. 
This is larger than at any time in American history outside of war, 
recession, or national emergency.
  Republicans, led by Speaker   Mike Johnson, will continue to fight to 
pass legislation to reduce the deficit helping American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with Biden open borders.
  The New York Post this week warns a 9/11 attack in America is 
imminent.
